    Too few to list.
    Body lifts aren't safe, you'll regret it in the end. You know the saying "you get what you pay for". There's no cheap way to get around a bigger lift than 3".

    Do not do a body lift! Get this idea out of your head. Now work on finding the right suspension lift. Oh, and just incase: DO NOT GET A BODY LIFT!

    My plan is Billy 5100's & 885 coils with a 3/4" spacer for a full 3" lift....Billy's alone are 2.5"

    Billy 5100's and AAL rear.

    Again.....don't do a body lift.

    Around $600 for the setup.

    COME ON AUGUST!!! lol

    tires depends on what u want and what u do....if u wanna stay w/ stock rims and want to get a 285 tire, you'll need wheel spacers or new UCA's to avoid rubbing the stock UCA w/ the tire

    rubbing as in the wider tire hitting the UCA. a new rim w/ a smaller backspacing, stock wheels w/ spacers, or new UCA's will fix. spacers and stockers being the cheapest. many people use the spidertrax spacers w/o no issues at all
